I’m excited to share with you the beautiful work of one of my blog sponsors Save the Date Events who provide event planning and styling services in Sydney as well as styled dessert tables!
Christening Reception styling
Nicole who owns Save the Date Events first realised her passion for creating beautiful events when she hosted her friend’s bridal shower.
She explains – “It started with a simple colour scheme and the end result was a gorgeous backyard garden affair. I received a lot of compliments from the guests and thought that I should pursue things further and start my own business. I absolutely loved planning my own wedding and wanted to feel that rush of organising an event all the time, and Save the Date Events was born!”
How fun is this Lion King inspired table?:

Like many of us, Nicole explains that she has always had an interest in the pretty things in life and loves that she is able to express her creativity through working with her clients on their events. She enjoys working with clients to come up with unique and special ideas to suit their vision for an event.
This popcorn bar is such a fantastic idea for something different to a standard candy buffet:
Popcorn and sweets birthday bar
Nicole loves all of life’s celebrations and incorporating hand-made items and craft throughout each event to add a unique and personal touch.
I am totally swooning over this table!:

Something gorgeous for a good cause:

You can Follow all of Nicole’s work on the Save the Date Event’s facebook page, and website and if you’re in Sydney you can have the pleasure of having Nicole assist you in any celebration you are planning!

Minnie Mouse is one of those classic characters that seems to continue being so popular for a girl’s party! It is easy to style based around either pinks or reds and polka-dots. Think bows, mouse ears, minnie mouse silhouettes and spots.
I hope you enjoy these selections! A lot of what I’ve chosen are from the vendors in the Life’s Little Celebration’s children’s party directory so make sure you have a browse of the categories there when planning your party!
